Gavea Race 1 - Classico Jose Calmon (L.) S.
PARANA (7) made an encouraging debut when finishing second over 1000m here in a stronger race, and with natural improvement, he looks to be the one to beat in this. VISION FOR SPEED (2) scored comfortably as the favourite on debut at Taruma over 700m before heading to the paddock, and with ten weeks to strengthen, he returns as a promising type with plenty of upside. Stick with him. PANTANAL (6) also produced a strong debut effort when runner-up over 1300m at this track in tougher company, and that performance suggests another top-three finish is well within reach. PAID IN FULL (4) was not disgraced on debut over 1300m here despite being beaten a fair margin, and with that experience under his belt, he is entitled to improve and figure in the finish this time. Something for the Multiples: RELATOR (1)

Lining up for just third start. At debut, ran last in a small field at this track on February 10 over 1000m, in the wet; 23 len behind Plancton with 56kg at $8.60. Second-up 2nd of 7 at this track on March 8 over 1300m, 5 len behind Thomas Do Iguassu carrying 56kg at $14.30. Definite winning chance.

Was well-supported at debut, 2nd in a small field at this track on February 10 over 1000m, on a wet track; 0.5 len behind Plancton carrying 56kg at $2.30. Capable of taking this out.
